A quick-thinking woman used acupuncture to revive a heart attack victim.

The passerby found the man, who had fallen on the curb with his electric bike and applied traditional Chinese medicine to help him in Shandong province, China, on January 8.

Footage shows the good Samaritan calmly holding a needle and pressing it onto a specific point on his left wrist.

She then massaged the man's armpits as he laid on the ground and other concerned passersby stopped by to assist her. After a minute of massaging, the man fortunately gained consciousness and was helped to sit down.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and alleviate various health conditions.
